  • Subread low percentage of assigned fragments in ENCODE data

    Hi there guys!


    I am using Subread v1.5.0-p1 to get tables of counts for RNAseq data I got from ENCODE (https://www.encodeproject.org/experiments/ENCSR000BYX/).
    What I am trying to get are counts for genes (using reads assigned to exons) since I want to ultimately turn the numbers into FPKM or TPM.

    However, I am getting around 13% of successfully assigned reads:

    || Total fragments : 72502756 ||
    || Successfully assigned fragments : 9324091 (12.9%) ||
    || Running time : 2.20 minutes ||

    This doesn't sound right to me, I am used to getting 50-75% of reads assigned in RNAseq, using HTseq + DESeq2. I don't expect ENCODE data to be of poor quality so I think it's something on my side.

    I tried all the combinations of fr-firststrand, fr-secondstrand, rf-firststrand, rf-secondstrand etc. Nothing gives me higher values than those 13%.
    Using GENCODE M3 annotation gtf since the data was originally aligned to mm9.
    This is a paired-end library from Illumina GAIIx sequencer.

    Any tips ?

    Could you show the content of the ".summary" file which was part of featureCounts output?

      I found the problem, I was using wrong GTF annotation, should've used GENCODE mouse M1 since vM3 is built on mm10...

        Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
        by seqadmin



        The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

        Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
        by seqadmin



        Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
